The elephant is shown with its trunk raised high, which is traditionally seen as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. The form is sculpted with realistic details—particularly around the eyes, ears, and trunk—emphasizing texture and natural folds in the skin.

The planter has an open top for planting and appears fairly spacious inside. There is visible wear and staining on the interior, and a noticeable crack near the opening that has been repaired or sealed, showing signs of age and use.

This piece has a charming presence and a unique sculptural quality, making it well-suited as a statement planter or decorative object, especially in eclectic or global-inspired interiors. See less
